[QUESTION] ICS on OLDER PHONE LIKE US

hello we all own a DS but as the following link says that even we get ICS then ,
"What'll happen on phones that do have physical
buttons, then? Will Ice Cream Sandwich work on
those types of devices?
Yep -- only instead of getting the on-screen
navigation buttons, you'll use your phone's physical
buttons in the same way you do now. The menu key
will load any contextual on-screen menus, and long-
pressing the home key will load the multitasking tool,
just like it has in past Android releases."
reference:http://blogs.computerworld.com/19133/android_ice_cream_sandwich_faq
I'd seen superkids ICS but there I see those on screen keys present.
someone make it go ...

Well it will obviously work on those devices because Google will update the nexus s which has capacitive buttons

i know it will work but as we already have capacitive buttons so the on screen buttons seem obsolete taking up space of our screen without any freaking need . so devs should make it go away somehow . dont look at me I am not a developer i just dont wanna loose my pixels over those obsolete onscreen button for us ...

They're sdk ports. Also the files have to be changed for our devices because they're all based on the galaxy nexus

Superkid will remove these once the whole lot is working I should assume. No need to worry! We are not running on old phones, so there is a slight possibility we will get an OTA update

i personally think htc will update the desire s to ICS since they did upgrade the ds to sense 3 and they said they won't. Also sony ericson is promising ics on every phone with a 1ghz processor released in 2011, and if they deliver htc will be under fire for not giving ics to both the desire s and incredible s. Also htc will lose the excuse of saying the hardware is too old/slow to support ics since the current list only consists of dual core phones.

I've tested Superkid Alpha ICS but it won't stop crashing! We'll get ICS but wait for it a bit longer... ^^

It crashes because of wallpaper, and i deleted the phisical bottons already, check last page in my post

I'll calm down and looking forward to have that ROM to wear on my DS. I'm sure all DS owners are looking at this thread and do a following up information how an ics goes far...
I hope to test it soon or one days

May I add one more question , Ive read somewhere that the nexus prime is capable of Portable mass storage (external harddisk) is this coz of ics or is it hardware related? If software will it mean that if we get our ics update we will also have the same thing? That would be neat!

To my understanding that's a hardware thing so even if we do get ics it wont be there as you need usb host support to be able to use portable hdd, gamepad etc.

Just to keep you informed, i've tested 2.3.1 of SuperIce from Superkid and it's really really good but it lacks hardware accelaration!
I gives a greap overview of what could be ICS on our desire s

I will wait for official release because I didn't find anything that works...

What so you think about ICS on the Desire S??

Its a easy question, What do you think about ICS on the Desire S? Did or would you use it?

I think it is pretty efficient and easy to use.
Do you have any concern about it?

Even the current beta don't have them anymore, you use the hardware buttons like on gingerbread (with some additional features).
Ics rocks, there are for sure some bugs and features left that should be added/fixed, but the beta is already my daily.
I think there's nothing else to say

Yup am waiting for the camera to be working for the betas
as soon as it's done i'm gonna download and flash!
all the best to the devs

i know it's an early build still, but i seem to like it less every time i install it. Maybe a stable build will change my mind, who knows...

I like it. Would be my daily except I rely on wifi hotspot and USB tethering. When both work I can use as daily driver

Would like ICS with Sense
I happen to really like the Sense interface. Having tried SuperKid's ICS beta4, I can say there are a lot of things that I like, but I would rather have a Sense ROM based on ICS.
Back to the GREAT Endymion v3.0 for now...

me too I was using ICS Beta for 2 days, and I noticed headphone didn't work in beta4r1 when I played music while I was waiting for the bus at station. but Play/next/previous buttons on the headphone works perfectly except for the sound playing from phone set.
Then I installed Endymion V3.0 in the bus But I really like the UserInterface of ICS , many features are still not working.. But I'll switch to ICS again when Headphone /mic is fixed..

That's nice ,realy ,i love ICS interface . Have problem but is best rom for ever . Thanks superkid .

Are you sure that you picked the right package? This issue was solved in 4r1 and it works for me without any problems.

[Q] Jelly Bean ROM's for Inspire 4G/Desire

After giving it some time for Jelly Bean to hit developers, I've seen 2 versions of Jelly Bean that work on the Inspire, both of which are variants of JellyTime. There is a CM10 version out there, but the Inspire/Desire is not on their supported list and after installing it I can't get it to boot past the splash screen.
Has anyone seen any other JB ROM's out there? I've seen Randomblame's and Synergy's and I must say both are noticeably faster, faster internet, faster APP install, and improved efficiency overall.

Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.

Those are the two. Since nothing official will be hitting any similar devices it probably won't be a big collection of roms like gb and ics. I bet someday we will see a port of a jelly/sense combo but it will probably be missing stuff so it is actually usable. Our devices are becoming dated compared to jelly bean devices. It's like running windows 7 on an old Athlon. I know I am looking forward to upgrading. My inspire has been a great device, but most of the really great devs have upgraded and moved on, and I can't wait til I can do the same. I've only got 11 more months lol. Keylime(or whatever the k version will be called) will probably be out by then.

My apologies, thanks for moving it. I am new to this.

I've been using randomBlame's jelly bean nightlies for some time now. It is nearly perfect but the one major flaw made me revert back to ice cold sandwich: the screen blacks out when the first sound is initiated after sleep. It's actually a problem with cm10 and it interferes with calls. When that is fixed it will be my new os.

JellyTime
I just flash this rom (below) yesterday night and i must say thsi is the best one I've flashed in awhile.
its fast its good on battery life and the design is Crack lol. only problem i have is the camera function
dont like that i have to snap a shot just to calibrate it. and the Apollo music app, installing a different theme it doesnt seem to work.
other than that the dialer works, wifi is excellent and the battery life is sweet....check it out​

A workaround for camera focus is to hold button and then slide finger off it sideways. It will focus without taking a picture. Works for me.

When I launch the camera application the picture is upside down until I snap a shot. Then it returns to normal operation. :cyclops:

Thank you :good:

I'm currently using JellyTime R13 and I haven't run on any issues. Great battery life, very fast and the camera bug stated earlier in this post is fixed. Only thing not working is the headset controls, but for me that's not a big deal. I use it as my daily driver. I haven't used the other one but I think it should be very similar to JellyTime since both are unofficial CM Nightlies.

Still has backlight issues I think. Biggest deal killer for me is not supporting all wifi channels...

Post#1- Introduction:
This is the navigation bar which google earlier announced alongside honeycomb and came with the ics based galaxy nexus.Now this is the era of touchscreens not hardware and capacitive buttons!?come on people grow up!
Down here is a picture comparing nexus 4 to s3.
This will work on android 4.0 and above android versions and this bar takes up only 0.3 inch of the screen!
It is a three button bar-back,home and multitasking.

Just cover them with black ink and if you like nexus 4 it doesn't mean everybody does so don't force it
And I can disable the capacitive buttons btw

I am using the nexus buttons.
I changed DPI to 140 to make it look a bit normal.
I still prefer capacitive though.

This post is to show how you could disable the capacitive buttons on your pico and also turn off the led lights underneath the buttons if you wanna use the soft keys and prefferrably change the LCD density and it looks better on a small screen!:laugh:
